Billions S5 E11 Clip: Is Axe Setting Up A Trap Or Falling In One?
After a long hiatus, season 5’s second half gave plenty of twists and turns, even though inching closer to Axe’s victory.
Charles Senior is grappling with life and death, Wendy’s struggling with her divorce, Axe can now make his bank dream come true, and Chuck might be losing it all.
Billions season 5 is nearing its end. Episode 11, titled ‘Victory Smoke,’ is the second-last episode of the season, and just when one would think things would get clearer, they get more puzzling.
The preview clip of Billions’ S5 Ep 11, and the world is now facing the after-effects of Axe restructuring Axe Cap into Axe Bank and the Jeffersonian dinner.
An official clip released by Billions on SHOWTIME YouTube channel shows that Axe, thinking he’s cashing in on his dream, tries to put money into the cannabis business and is walking right into the trio’s trap.
Either he really doesn’t know what trick Prince, Chuck, and Sacker are playing, or he is now playing them.
The clip shows Axe discussing the acquisition of FYC – Fine Young Cannabis, a company he knows Prince is “targetting.”
Apparently, here’s another well-crafted plan – the CEO of FYC, a lady named Winslow, refuses to talk to anyone from Axe Bank, including Axe himself, as she’s in an “exclusive negotiating period with Prince.” (We all know how deceptive the entire phrase sounds.)
Axe is all into overthrowing Prince, at whatever cost. Just not at overpaying the CEO. But Axe being Axe, we’re sure he’ll find an easier way out of this.
“But believe me, before she locks into them, she’s gonna have one last look at what’s out there; it’s human nature. And I’ll be what she’s staring at,” says a highly passionate Axe at the end.
Doesn’t this make it look like the genius is walking right into the trap? What about his arch-nemesis Chuck? Has he really given up?
Knowing both of them for five seasons, we’re sure all of this will eventually topple over. Either Axe really knows about the plan and wants them to think he’s a fool, or Chuck has something way bigger planned.
There’s a lot more to look forward to too – a potential relationship between Wendy and Axe, Taylor calling in an old friend for help and Wags preparing for a big day.
Can’t Billions S5 Ep 11 come sooner already?
The show will air on September 26, 9 PM ET on Showtime and other digital streaming platforms.
